...yet you don't have faith in us being smart enough to update the grids (and/or develop further technology) for increased electricity use from EVs. Which is it?

Just wait until it comes out, IF it comes out. Your opinions should be based on the real EV Camaro I think, not the one in your imagination.

Two of the most logical (as opposed to emotional) posts in the thread so far.

There’s one post that lists “just wait…”. Here’s the thing. There isn’t a need to wait because each of those things exist already. They are all expected to improve over the coming years in the same way that ICE vehicles have continuously improved over many years.

As far as a new administration winding back the clock, that is highly doubtful because

1. Most of the state based regulations on Zero Emissions were initiated during the Trump Administration and have continued forward during the Biden Administration
2. The automakers who have committed to electric vehicles made their public announcements to that by and before 2019, ie - during the Trump Administration
3. GM, Ford, VW, Honda, BMW, Mercedes Benz have all pledged and spent billions of dollars on factories, platform development, and battery partnerships focused on delivering EVs. They are not going to just flush that investment down the drain.

ICE vehicles will continue to exist beyond 2035. There is little doubt about that, but they will coexist with BEV. Over time BEV production and sales will surpass ICE production and sales. ICE will continue to be available for those things that BEV does not do better than ICE, basically, towing and hauling.
